Nintendo will start having their games play themselves

Are games too hard for you, Johnny? Don't worry -- Shiggy's got your back. Starting with upcoming New Super Mario Bros.

It'd be one thing if it was a demo of how to get through a hard part. But yeah, just having a game play itself isn't really a game, imo.
